Abstract

In the communication system, when viewing and listening of distribution contents of a distribution server connected to a network is conducted by a viewing and listening terminal connected to a network with an AV gateway device provided therebetween, the AV gateway device notifies the viewing and listening terminal of the distribution contents in the distribution server as contents held by the AV gateway device itself, and when the viewing and listening terminal requests acquisition of distribution contents from the AV gateway device, the AV gateway device obtains distribution contents corresponding to the request made by the viewing and listening terminal and converts the viewing and listening contents to have a data format receivable by the viewing and listening terminal to transmit the converted contents to the viewing and listening terminal.
